In Congress July 4Th 1776, The Unanimous Declaration

of the 13 United States of America When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the Earth. The separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold These truths to be self–evident that all men are created equal, but they are endowed by the creator with certain unalienable rights that among these are life liberty and the pursuit of happiness that to secure these rights governments are instituted among men deriving their just powers from the consent of the government that whenever any form of government becomes destructive. To these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it and to institute new government laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to affect their safety and happiness. Prudence Indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes, and accordingly, all experience has shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable than to write themselves by abolishing the forms.

They Are Accustomed, But When A Long

train of abuses and usurpations pursuing invariably the same object invinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism. It is their right. It is their duty to throw off such government and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Britain” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having indirect object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states to prove this let facts be submitted to a candid world.

He Has Refused His Ascent To

laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance unless suspended in their operation till his. Ascent should be obtained and when so suspended he is utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people. Unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature.

A Right Inestimable To Them And Formidable

to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual uncomfortable and distant from the depository of their public records for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused for a long time after such disillusions to cause others to be elected whereby the legislative powers incapable of annihilation have returned to the people at large for their exercise the state remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without and convulsions within. He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states for that purpose, obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners, refusing to pass others to encourage their migration.

Hither And Raising The Conditions Of New

appropriations of lambs. He has obstructed the administration of justice by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers. He has made judges dependent on his will alone for the tenure of their offices and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of new offices and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out. Their substance he has kept among us in times of peace standing armies without the consent of our legislature.

He Is Affected To Render The Military

independent of and superior to civil power. He’s combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution and acknowledged by our laws, giving his ascent to their acts of pretended legislation for quartering large bodies of armed troops among us for protecting them by mock trial from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states for cutting off our trade with all parts of the world for imposing taxes on us without our consent for depriving us. In many cases, the benefits of trial by jury for transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses for abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province, establishing there in an arbitrary. government and enlarging its boundaries so as to render at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule in these colonies for taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments for suspending our own legislatures and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever he has abdicated government here by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us. He has plundered our seas ravaged our coasts, burned our towns and destroyed the lives of our people.

He Is At This Time Transporting Large Armies

of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfecty scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation. He has constrained our fellow citizens taken captive on. The high seas to bear arms against their country to become the executioners of their friends and brethren or to fall themselves by their hands. He has excited domestic insurrectionists among us and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers. The merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is undistinguished destruction of all ages sexes and conditions in every stage of these oppressions.

We Have Petitioned For Redress In

the most humble terms. Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince whose characters thus marked by every act which may define the tyrant is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have we been wanting an attention to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by the legislature to extend an unwarrable jurisdiction over us.

We Have Reminded Them Of The

circumstances of. Our immigration and settlement here we’ve appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them to the ties of our common kindred to disavow these use of patients which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. We must therefore acquiesce in the necessity which denounces our separation and hold them as we hold the rest of mankind enemies in war in peace friends. We therefore, the representatives of the United States of America in general Congress assembled appealing to the Supreme judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions do in the name and by the authority of the good people.

These Colonies Solemnly Publish And Declare That These

United colonies are and of right ought to be free and independent states that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown and that all political connection between them and the state of great. Britain is and ought to be totally dissolved and that as free and independent states they have full power to levy war conclude peace contract alliances, establish commerce and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do and for the support of this declaration with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence. We mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor you.
